Additional research- comparisons

For our music video, we attempted to have our lead (Kala) mimic Kesha's style.

 

Within various music videos of Kesha's, she can always be seen as having heavy eye make. This can differ from having glitter, or as the screen shot below shows, studs on her eyebrows. The screenshot is taken from 'We R Who We Are'. This adds to Kesha's image and star motif, as eye make up (glitter in particular), is something that is nearly always incorporated in her videos.

Whilst filming a particular scene, we decided to reflect this certain aspect of Kesha's onto our lead. We achieved this through using face crayons. Rumena Ahmed took to drawing different coloured swirls and patterns on and around Kala's eyelid. The screenshot below shows the patterns that Rumena drew. The use of bright colours can also be associated with Kesha, as well as link to the 'Crazy Kids' theme.

Behind-the-scene images

Whilst filming for our music video, I took various pictures of Rumena and Chloe setting up behind the scenes. This included images of them setting up things such as the tripods, as well as lighting and filming. Rumena had control over the lighting, whilst Chloe Connell and I filmed. Chloe Connell then took an image of me setting up the camera. Chloe Connell then added the pictures onto Fotor Photo Collage, which shows exactly how we took to preparing for filming. Among the photos, i took a still image of our lead positioning herself for the camera. 

Each picture demonstrates different steps we had to take, in order to achieve a certain image. For an example the bottom right picture shows how we used props such as pink balloons and streamers. This is conventional in pop videos, such as the video for 'TGIF' by Katy Perry as it connotes a theme of fun. In this case it links to theme of 'crazy kids' and 'partying', which have been dominant within our video, and are similar to the star motif of Kesha who is seen as a 'wild child'. 
Below is a print screen from Kesha's music video for 'C'Mon', which also uses streamers:

The bottom middle picture shows Rumena adjusting the hair of the lead, and this shows how paying attention to small detail is essential. 

I also took behind the scene images for when we used the green screen, which I added together through the use of InstacCollage. Below shows Chloe and Rumena setting up:
